Which of the following statements is/are true regarding assessment in science at middle school A- All aspects of learning need to be given due importance B- Ways of assessment need to be flexible as per situation C- Informal observations by teacher cannot be used for assessment D- Assessment should focus on qualitative performance of learners Correct Answer A, B, D

Assessment is not meant to compare and rank children against each other or some fixed norms but it helps teachers to analyze how well each child can perform, track his/her progress, and provide the necessary feedback to ensure further improvement. Key Points

  • Science in middle school learning objectives include all aspects like cognitive, affective, and psychomotor behavior, therefore multiple assessment techniques are needed for evaluating the outcomes.
  • All the aspects of learning need to be assessed and proper feedback should be given to learners.
  • Effective and informative assessment involves teachers using a variety of assessment strategies that give students multiple opportunities, in varying contexts, to demonstrate what they know, understand, and can do about the learning objectives.
  • Considering the dynamic nature of children’s learning and their needs, the NCF has emphasized the concept of comprehensive and continuous assessment and flexible assessment.
  • Assessment should focus on the qualitative performance of learners. Qualitative assessment is focused on understanding how people make meaning of and experience their environment or world It includes detailed descriptions of people, events, situations, interactions, and observed behaviors.

Hence A, B &D are the correct options. Additional Information

  • Informal observations by teachers can also be used for assessment because NCF 2005 has emphasized the concept of continuous assessment even if it is informal and outside the classroom.

The Weberian model of bureaucracy has been criticised from a variety of stand points.
Consider the following points in this regard:
1. The Weberian model appears to be a 'machine theory' and a closed system model taking little account of organisational interactions with the environment.
2. The structural features of bureaucracy as laid down by Weber might be suitable for routine and repetitive tasks but these would produce dysfunctional consequences in terms of human behaviour if the jobs would involve innovation and creativity.
3. Weberian model has not been found to respond adequately to the tasks of socioeconomic transformation in the developing countries. These tasks require quick changes whereas the capacity of the Weberian model for adaptation to change is rather slow.
4. Weber's model is confined to the study of formal bureaucratic structure and fails to take notice of the informal structure of bureauracy such as informal relations, informal norms and values, an informal power hierarchy and informal power struggles.
Which of the above points make a valid criticism of the Weberian model? Select the correct answer from below:
